    Italiano and BLT sandwich!
    Nathan D.

    Great lunch specials at Panera.I don't do fast food and not big on chain restaurants , so this was my first ever visit to any Panera. The lunch special pick 2 for 4.99$ each was very good. I picked the Italiano sandwich and the ranch parm BLT salad and both were tasty. The bread on the sandwich was excellent, really good bread elevates any sandwich and i enjoyed the crisp outside and doughy inside of the sourdough. Salad was yummy, it had a green avocado dressing and a side of ranch, i didn't even use the ranch..... I would definitely recommend Panera for an affordable lunch, their Italiano sandwich is better than 90% of sandwich shops in the area. The 2.7 overall rating for this restaurant is very misleading, I think some folks are really good at whining and complaining. Panera appears to specialize in bread , sandwiches and salads, so I think that's probably what you should order here. Restaurant was clean and service was good. I'm not supposed to be eating carbs and or gluten but I allow myself at cheat day once in awhile and i'm a bit frugal and love a good deal so next time i'm craving a sandwich , I'll be back!!

    Tomato soup and new bagel sandwich

    I really love this new Panera. The employees were so nice and helpful anytime we needed something. The location does have sell ordering kiosks as you walk in but we bypassed that and went straight to the register as that's just easier for me most of the time. I tried out one of their new bagel sandwiches with a side of tomato soup. Delicious! I always feel pretty good about eating at Panera as their meats rate higher quality compared to other "fast food" establishments. This location also has an area for kids to play. I absolutely loved seeing that as it seems so rare these days. I didn't snap a photo though as children were occupying the area. Excited to come back!

    My kids requested Panera after grocery shopping for smaller items at our nearby Winco. My kids love their mac anent cheese here. They will ask for it every other visit. They usually order the same half sandwich with a soup or a bowl of Mac and cheese with their baguette. My first mobile app order was fairly easy and the app is user friendly! Two wins for me! I didn't place my order until I picked up my breakfast burritos from Roberto's across the parking lot. The outside of this newer Panera looks like the others. I expect the inside to model the other chain restaurants. The girls working were very bubbly and welcoming. I would use this app again and appreciate the quick and friendly service and my kids hot food.

    Had the Italian Market Salad, it was excellent. All the food we had was good and up to the standards we experienced in Virginia. The employee that bussed the table was very nice and informative. It is a very new restaurant. The ambiance is clean and pleasant. They have a very nice indoor playground for kids up to 12. We will definitely come back. Looking forward to soup in the winter.

    Love the design of this new Panera in town. It's very open concept where most of the other paneras are so boxy and cut off. My kiddos enjoyed the play place. We used the tablet to order so didn't really have any interactions with the staff. The food was tasty however a little pricey.

    I really like this place. They have better options than traditional fast food and the prices are ok. The staff is always friendly.

    I went to Panera yesterday about 10am. I've never been to one before and was excited to go because everyone seems to love it. I was impressed with the selection of baked goods. Also, how modern and clean the store was, but I suppose that's because it's only opened the day before. There were lots of staff there and the cashier that took my order was being overseen by someone shadowing her. I did find in interesting that she asked me if I had a phone number on file for rewards. I told her I didn't, but she didn't follow up to suggest that I join to earn rewards. It was hard to decide what to get with all the choices, but I settled on the special Ham Croissant Benny (it was marked as New & Limited Time) and the Four Cheese Souffle. I ordered everything to-go. Overall, the food was good. Tho, my Benny was dry the first couple of bites because the sauce was not evenly spread across the croissant. Once I got to the sauce the sandwich was excellent. My DH liked the souffle but thought for the price it was on the small side. He said the favor was really good but wasn't sure that it was worth almost $8.00. The total order cost $15.79 with tax. The service was good. I had to wait about 7 minutes for my food. There was a cool monitor which showed the progress of my order, which was really nice. I didn't have to worry that I didn't hear my name being called. They have a nice little play structure for the kids. I was a little underwhelmed, but it could be that my expectations were too high based on how much everyone loved Panera. I would go back tho probably not often.

    Take twos!! One with chicken bacon rancher and the other with spicy fiesta chicken!

Yes that is just one dish. No wonder it tastes so good. Crunchy, spicy, savory in the rich broth is something you should try. Shrimp tempura with a spicy dipping sauce is her favorite. This is an excellent appetizer. Fried rice is my absolute favorite and the chicken version here is fabulous and makes an excellent breakfast the next morning! Then there is the tiger boba Let's talk....this is so rich and creamy it should be illegal but thank goodness it's not. Check out the picture, you can gain a pound or so just from the picture. Don't miss out on this amazing treat. Our server has always been helpful and suggested dishes for us to try. Great suggestions. Your pot will have a heater inside that I suggest you ask to be turned off as soon as it arrives. Don't worry your pot will still be plenty hot to enjoy. If you try Tasty Pot once chances are you'll be back.

    I visited Chopstix in Sparks on a whim when my wife was getting her nails done nextdoor, thinking…read moreI'd just shnack a little while I waited. Instead, I ended up coming back the same day because my first experience was that good. Let's start with the appetizer sampler I got first go round. The egg roll was crispy, cabbagey, savory, and satisfying. The shrimp was crispy, fresh-tasting, and absolutely delicious with the sweet and sour sauce. The chicken wings were crispy, crunchy, juicy, and left me wanting ten more. The sesame ball was sweet, creamy, and wonderfully nutty. The crab cheese puffs were packed with filling, crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, with a slight tang. The restaurant itself was spotless and smelled nice. The staff were friendly, smiling, and genuinely made me want to come back. The appetizers came with sweet and sour sauce, hot mustard, soy sauce, and a generous stack of napkins. It's a little thing, but I appreciated it. After I ran into the nail place to let my wife try what I thought was amazing, we decided it was gonna be dinner. Later, I came back and ordered two combo plates and a chicken fried rice. My combo came with chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken. My wife's came with fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken. My mom ordered the chicken fried rice. My plate left me conflicted. The flavors were fantastic. The orange peel chicken actually had large pieces of orange peel in it, giving it brightness, sweetness, and acidity. The General Chicken had a nice spice level, and I could actually taste ingredients like ginger instead of just generic sweetness. The chow mein was flavorful enough that it didn't need soy sauce at all. The problem wasn't flavor. It was texture. The chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken were all much softer than I prefer. Not quite mushy, but getting close. Everything kind of compressed when I bit into it. So I'm torn. Amazing flavor, but textures that just weren't my favorite. My wife's Kung Pao Chicken, on the other hand, was excellent. The spice level was perfect, the vegetables were uniformly cut and perfectly cooked, and there were peanuts throughout that added a nice crunch. Nothing was undercooked, oversized, or awkward to eat. Whoever is doing the knife work and prep in this kitchen deserves some credit because it shows. The fried rice on that plate was okay. Not bad at all, just very simple. It needed a little more flavor and a little more going on. My mom's chicken fried rice was much better. It had more seasoning, more ingredients, shredded chicken, vegetables, and a much more satisfying overall texture. So what's the verdict? The appetizers were outstanding, especially the shrimp and crab cheese puffs. The Kung Pao Chicken was excellent. The chicken fried rice was very good. Even the dishes I criticized had genuinely amazing flavor. Seriously, orange chicken that actually tastes like orange instead of pure sugar? That's rare. General Chicken where I can pick out individual flavors instead of one-note sweetness? Also rare. My issue was texture, not taste. If you like softer textures, you may love the chow mein, orange peel chicken, and General Chicken. If you're like me and prefer more bite, chew, or crispness, those dishes may not be your favorites. Will I be back? Absolutely. I should also mention for two combo plates, a order of shrimp, and order of crab cheese puffs, I spent like $55 bucks. Not bad at all. The flavors were too good not to come back and explore the rest of the menu. Honestly, if the orange peel chicken and General Chicken had a crispier texture, they'd be among the best versions I've had. As it is? 4 out of 5.

    new to this area. I checked for good yelp reviews for Chinese food restaurants. This one had the…read morebest reviews. So we went ahead and try this place. It's a small family owned restaurant in a shopping center. It family friendly, clean presentable. The menu is clear and detailed what is each meal. We were served in a timely manner. Now for my review on the food. The food was delivered fresh and hot "off the stove" which is % My vegetable delight was too soft over cooked and serve in a brooth. My chow mein wasn't the best. My fired rice wasn't "firied rice" it was steamed with some veggies. It wasn't traditional fired rice. The kung pao was okay. But not great. We didn't order any drinks because we had are own water. So I wasn't going to pay for another bottle. We spent $33. not bad. QUESTION: would I come back? NO it was an experience but I won't. But that's just my experience.

    I've been to SK at least 6 times since moving to Sparks. It was one of the first asian restaurants…read moreI tried. Traditional Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine IMO, is difficult to find here compared to the Bay Area. But that's not the fault of Reno, it's just the number of asian restaurants are so much fewer here and all the produce is literally imported. My goto when checking out a chinese restaurant is their chow fun noodles. Why? The noodles are perishable and if frozen the texture becomes a bit mushy, not firm. Was the noodle fresh, yes but with the cavet that it was probably imported day or two earlier. There are no local noodle makers in Reno. The dish was prepared in traditionally with a slight twist. Garlic, lots of minced garlic. Not complaining, as this is unusual for chow fun noodles to get amost a fourth of a garlic bulb worth. I ordered the mixed protein version with chicken, pork, and beef. There was a slight sweetness to the dish, which I am atributing it to sugar. Which again is unusual but a welcome addition like the garlic. My last visit was when some relatives visted from the Bay Area and we had lunch. I didn't want to take a chance on the food that they may not be used to, so we choose SK Noodle. Eveyone had their vietnamese Pho and grilled dishes and so far SK did dissapoint any of the Northern CA food snobs! I will be back.

    The food was good but way too expensive! The price on line is not accurate. I was charged 2x more…read more Service is ok but I ordered take-out so not much interaction. The ambiance is great. Newly renovated.

    I seem to be on a roll with food trucks lately. While I have my favorites, the variety has been…read morequite nice and encouraged me to publish more reviews. Soup and a sandwich is always a good choice on a winter's day for lunch. Today's soup was a sweet potati lentil. Given it's still summer, I opted for their chipotle bbq pulled pork grilled cheese on Ciabatta bread. While I was not dazzled by its visual appearance, it definitely hit the spot. I initially balked over the half sandwich size, but after eating it, I concluded a full size sandwich with that much meat and cheese would've involved antacids two hours later. The good...The ladies running the truck were quite friendly. The proportion size was perfect for lunch. I didn't feel like I over ate. The price point was reasonable and the menu had some options for the health conscious. The bad...I really would've liked to see some kind of green side (salad, slaw, etc...) to accompany my sandwich. I would even be willing to pay a little more just to balance out the meal. They did have a couple options which would fit this bill but their price point advertised them more as a meal itself rather than a side dish. If these ladies are back during a colder week, I definitely want to try out their soups. The menu has some variety so I'm sure I'll be eating with them again regardless of the time of year.
